Linda Wessberg claimed the Ladies Norwegian Open title with a final round of 64, to finish at 13 under par, three shots ahead of fellow Swede Jenny Haglund. 

The 36-year-old from Gothenburg saved her best round for last, recording eight birdies and 10 pars on her way to her first victory on the LET Access Series.

Haglund, who won the recent Norrporten Ladies Open at the beginning of August, also finished with an impressive 64 for a ten under par total.

Charlotte Thompson from England closed with a disappointing 74, two over par, for third place at 8 under and joint overnight leader Nina Muehl recorded a three over par 75, to finish at seven under and 4th position on her own.

Tonje Daffinrud was the highest placed Norwegian, shooting 70 for a 5 under par total and fifth place.

The final day featured an exciting format, played alongside the Men’s Norwegian Open, over the Skjeberg course. It’s the first time an event on the LET Access Series has featured this format, which follows that of the Oates Victoria Open, which is played at the Beach Links in Victoria, Australia.

The LET Access Series now moves to Finland for the EVLI Ladies Finnish Open, which takes place at Hillside Golf Club in Vihti, from the 20 – 22 August.
